Prayers From Rusty Rambo.

Sam was my cousin, two years younger, and probably my oldest friend. Together with Dick and our cousin Frank we had many adventures. He was a good man. Carolyn King Stewart

Sam was my friend. Almost the moment we met as we walked into FUMC Newport we connected. Having grown up in Boones Creek/ Johnson City we had many of the same friends and it seemed like Sam knew a least half of my relatives. We shared a love of nature, being outside, family, country, and the `simple´ things of life. Newport/Cocke County is a better place for Sam(and Sarah) having lived here. My sympathies to Sarah and the family. I will always smile at the mention of Sam Preston.

Thank you for the opportunity to serve the Preston Family during Sams' final months. It was great getting to know Sam and Sarah and learn about what a wonderful man he was. DaryRon and your Caregiver's at Seniors Helping Seniors Tri-Cities

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.
